How College Football Should Be

I'll be the first one to admit there's an occasional Jersey attitude that emanates from me. It usually involves a faux confrontation and we all laugh it off.... sort of probably. that is just how it is from philly, you're either with us (phils) or against us (dallas)

that confrontational mind set was ridiculed today. I've never seen so many people who went out of their way - and they did go out of their way, almost to an embassing fault - to make 4 guys from FL feel at home. We didn't go but a block or so before an LSU fan came over and insisted we have some "Gator Burgers". And we couldn't get away from the southern hospitality. We actually left a 24 pack and a bottle of vodka unchecked at someone's tailgate, because she said she would watch it for us. not only did she watch it, she made sure we got it back - AFTER THE GAME. i dunno, it's been a long weekend and maybe i am romanticizing Baton Rouge, but this was bar none the best football watching experience I've ever had. I can't stop gushing about how welcoming the LSU fans were. I hope one day my kid(s) get to see that - it's football at it"s very finest. Tiger fans, you have my utmost respect. You were one hell of a host today, and even in defeat, you cared more about how your guests from the sunshine state were treated than how well your team did. (ok maybe it's the same.... but still)

i'll post pics from the tailgate soon, it;s like nothing you've ever seen. I promise you. I thought the PSU tailgate was America's best, but this put it to shame, and for me to say that about my team is a lot. Put Baton Rouge on your bucket list; it was bleepin awesome. If the world was as friendly as an LSU tailgate, we'd have a lot less problems. thanks my new Cajun friends, and Gauex Tigers.
